Are tomatoes evil? They are according to tomatoesareevil.com; a web site dedicated to anyone who has a powerful fear of tomatoes.

The site offers some intriguing tomato trivia, but the 'evil' claim appears to be tongue in cheek humour. Nevertheless, if you have arthritis, you just might think tomatoes are out to get you.

Arthritis: Bugs get bugged

I happened across tomatoesareevil.com when I was checking for information about foods that trigger inflammation and general discomfort for arthritis patients. Tomatoes don't actually plot to harm you, of course, but they do contain solanine, an alkaloid known for its toxicity.

Potatoes, eggplants and peppers are also members of the Solanum family. These plants are known as nightshade plants, and the solanine in their leaves and roots provide natural protection against insects. For most of us non-insects, solanine is neutralised in the intestine. But because solanine foods often trigger joint pain, some researchers believe that arthritis patients may lack the intestinal mechanism that undoes solanine's toxicity.

I have recently been suffering with a lot of aches and pains in my joints especially in my fingers and neck, I have also recently started eating lots of tomaotes straight form the greenhouse, my friend commented that his mum had Arthritis and tomatoes made her pain worse. I put tomatoes and athritis in the search engine and this sight was the first I looked at, confirming what my friend had said. I will now cut out tomatoes altogether and see how I go. Thank you
